BB will know when the time is right. The Packers might have stuck with Favre a few years too long, but my guess is that Mallet is not ready after only one season.

In BB we trust.

I think Mallett is "ready" as young QB go - obviously not for us having Brady but with the offense Mallett played in at Arky and now a year under his belt he'd be ready if he were on a rebuilding team.

Just like Kevin O'Connell, the last heir apparent, when he takes over for Brady.

Mallet has done exactly squat in his NFL career and there is no evidence to indicate he will ultimately be a starting NFL quarterback. I would take Hoyer over Mallet, and I do not want to see Hoyer starting for the Pats.

You might trust in BB, but he's hasn't done much the last few years. To me, he seems part of the problem. Poor game planning, poor play calling and poor coaching.

Disagree. He has assembled a long list of talented youngsters who have not yet reached their prime, Mayo, Gronkowski, Hernandez, Solder, Vollmer, Brandon Spikes, Chung, Ridley, Arrington ( led NFL in INTs ), and maybe even Mallet. These guys will all get better each of the next few years.

The competition between Brady and Mallett over the next 3-4 years will bring out the best in both of them. If the time comes when Mallett gives them a better chance to win, he will be in there. As a pure thrower, he obviously has more ability, but he has long way to go to reach Brady's mastery of the offense.

Just like Kevin O'Connell, the last heir apparent, when he takes over for Brady.

That's an intelligent comment. Kevin O'Connell was a bad quarterback in the freaking WAC, where defense is entirely optional. Ryan Mallett was a great quarterback in the SEC. Mallett was the Pats No. 1 rated QB in the entire draft. Let me assure you that the same was not true of Mr. O'Connell. We're talking about completely different tiers of talent here. Mallett can legitimately push Brady if he continues to improve.
